00:10Brothers and sisters, good morning.
00:26Brothers and sisters, good morning.
00:56On this fifth Sunday of Lent, the Gospel presents us with the episode of the adulterous woman, whom Jesus saves from condemnation.
01:14to death.
01:15Jesus' attitude is striking.
01:20We hear no words of contempt.
01:25We do not hear words of condemnation, but only words of love, of mercy that invite conversion.
01:38I don't condemn you either.
01:41Go and sin no more.
01:50Brothers and sisters, the face of God is that of a merciful Father, who is always patient.
02:01Have you thought about God's patience, the patience He has with each of us?
02:09And that is his mercy.
02:12He is always patient.
02:14Pansienza is with us, understands us, awaits us.
02:17He never tires of forgiving us if we know how to return to Him with a contrite heart.
02:26Great is the mercy of the Lord, says the Psalm.
02:34In recent days I have been able to read a book by a cardinal, Cardinal Casper, a clever theologian, a good
02:50theologian, on mercy.
02:54And that book did me so much good.
02:56But you don't think I advertise my cardinals' books, do you?
03:01It is not so.
03:04But it did me so much good, so much good.
03:11Cardinal Casper said that hearing mercy, this word, changes everything.
03:24That's the best we can hear.
03:29Change the world.
03:31A little mercy makes the world less cold and more just.
03:40We need to understand this mercy of God well.
03:46It is this merciful Father who has so much patience.
03:53And let us remember the prophet Isaiah, who says that even though our sins were red like scarlet,
04:03God's love will make them white as snow.
04:08The word mercy is beautiful.
04:12I just remember, Bishop, in the year 92, Our Lady of Fatima arrived in Buenos Aires.
04:25And a great mass was celebrated, a great mass for the sick.
04:33I went to confession at that mass.
04:38And at the end, almost after the mass, I got up because I had to make a crescima,
04:46an elderly woman came to me, humble, very humble.
04:56He got more than that.
04:58I looked at her and said, grandma, because that's what we say here, grandma to old women,
05:06Grandma, do you want to confess?
05:10Yes, yes, she told me, but if she has not sinned.
05:15And she told me, we all have sins, but maybe the Lord doesn't forgive them.
05:23The Lord forgives everything, she told me with certainty.
05:26But how do you know, Madam?
05:30If the Lord did not forgive everything, the world would not exist.
05:40I felt the urge to ask her,
05:44Tell me, Madam, did you study at the Gregorian University?
05:46Because that is the wisdom that the Holy Spirit gives,
05:51inner wisdom towards God's mercy.
06:03Let us not forget this word.
06:06God never tires of forgiving us.
06:11Never.
06:13And father, what's the problem?
06:16The problem is that we get confused,
06:21we didn't want to, we get tired of asking for forgiveness.
06:26He never tires of forgiving,
06:28but sometimes we get tired of asking for forgiveness.
06:33We never get tired.
06:35We never get tired.
06:37He is the loving Father who always forgives,
06:40who has that heart of mercy for all of us.
06:46And we too learn to be merciful to everyone.
06:56We invoke the intercession of Our Lady,
07:00who had in his arms the mercy of God made man.
07:19Now let's all pray the Angelus together.
07:27Angelus Domini,
07:28Mary did not live there,

09:49Once the Italian part is finished,
09:51normally at this point
09:52greetings begin in other languages.
09:55I don't know exactly what will happen,
09:56but we will follow it with our translators
09:59and then we will comment on the extraordinary things
10:01that we heard.
10:04I extend my warmest regards
10:06to all pilgrims.
10:10Thank you for your welcome
10:12and your prayers.
10:16Pray for me,
10:17I ask you.
10:19I renew my embrace
10:20to the faithful of Rome
10:22and I extend it to all of you.
10:26And I extend it to all of you.
10:29that you come from various parts
10:31of Italy and the world
10:33as well as to those who are united with us
10:36through the media.
10:47I chose the name of the Patron Saint of Italy,
10:51Saint Francis of Assisi,
10:52and this strengthens my spiritual bond
10:56with this land
11:04where, as you know,
11:06these are the origins of my family.
11:10But Jesus called us
11:13to be part of a new family,
11:16his Church,
11:17in this family of God,
11:19walking together
11:20on the path of the Gospel.
11:22May the Lord bless you,
11:24May the Madonna protect you
11:27and don't forget this.
11:36The Lord never tires of forgiving.
11:41It's us who get tired
11:44to ask for forgiveness.
11:46Happy Sunday and enjoy your lunch!
11:50A thousand thanks!
11:53A thousand thanks!
